How do you receive this error message? In a log?

Can you say a bit more about your setup? The message is associated with
backend/implicitclass.c of cups-filters. It implies remote queues are
disabled:

   if (!strcmp(dest_host, "NO_DEST_FOUND")) {
         /* All remote queues are either disabled or not accepting jobs, let
        CUPS retry after the usual interval */
        fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: No suitable destination host found by cups-browsed.\n");

Anything you can provide which would make the behaviour reproducible
would be helpful.

Brian.
